Default Can't remove highlight

Is it possible that the document has been Protected & that the Shading is an
attribute of a Style you don't have permission to modify?

Go to the Review Tab, click the Protect Document button & see what the Task
Pane has to say. You may be able to remove the Shading by applying a
different Style.

I have same problem. Tried clearning the shading and the highlighting and
neither works. My text still stays highlighted. When I "reveal
formatting"
under the font section is stays "Shading: Clear (Yellow)". So I'm
selecting
clear for shading but it's leaving it yellow anyway? I don't understand.
Does it have to do with the fact that it's a bulleted list? I'm just
baffled.

Thanks, Lene. That worked!

Maybe the color has been applied as shading and not as highlight. Try
whether
you can remove the color via Format Borders and Shading Shading
tab.

I've tried selecting and highlighting all the text and then
removing the
highlighting, but these sections stay yellow. Any suggestions?
